- 2 chicken breast boneless, cooked
- 2 cups broccoli steamed or roasted
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes roasted
For the sauce
- 3 Tbsp. butter unsalted
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tsp. basil fresh, chopped
- 2 tsp. parsley

Instructions
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add in the garlic and sage and cook for 30 seconds. Whisk in the flour (creating a roux) and cook for 30 seconds, whisking constantly.

Notes
- For the chicken, I cooked it in lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic powder.
